1. First of all, a comprehensive dusting of the clutters.
There are kinds of digital clutter you need to clean to speed up your PC.
Junk System Files
Your PC starts saving all kinds of files since its first day. Plenty of them become useless over time. Windows and programs running in Windows create temporary files and log files. Files you have deleted may collect in the Recycle Bin, if you don’t empty it regularly. When you browse the internet, browsers create temp files, websites put cookies on your computer, and the download history soars up.
Messy Registry Entries
Every time you start the PC or open a program, the system registry would be rewritten. The daily clicks could mess up the registry entries and cause freezes and crashes.
Stuffed and Fragmented Hard Drive
If your volume bar of the hard disk turns red, it is the last call to save old and sluggish PC. This means you do not have enough space to support the PC running. You have to delete the useless and big files to free up the memory space.
Unused Programs and Applications
